IMO America is being transformed into "Mystery Babylon". Yes I long for the old days myself but America as the nation we knew is already gone.

2 Chron. 7:14
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

I've always wondered about this scripture and how it should be or could be properly interpreted. Does it apply to any country, or only to (a sort of) theocracy such as Israel once was trying to be? Or is it rather speaking to any backslidden people of God? "My people.....turn from THEIR wicked ways." Or are the faithful people of God sort of "standing in" for any political nation in which they find themselves?

Hope this not a hijack, I've just always wondered, since it's such a quoted scripture, and seems just convenient "for all that ails ya."

we prayed for america today at church, exspecially for forgiveness

Re: We want america back
 

in context it was addressed to the nation of Israel or Judah of the Old testament, however the principle can apply to us as well today.

If this nationed humbled itself and brought up godliness and turned from there wicked ways, just how much do you think the Lord would bless us.

The bible tells us it rains on the just and the unjust, However how much more could it rain when those unjustly people become justified..

It never did. But it had far more influence on everyday life. Back then almost no buisnesses were even open on Sunday.

America was founded on Christian principals etc. They acknowledged God in
the setting up of the Constitution. She was founded on biblical principals, etc.
Today, because many American people have turned their backs on godliness
and righteousness and did nothing, prayer has been taken out of the public
schools, and other rights continue to be taken away.

The churches are made up of American citizens and others have joined them.

Today we have homosexual marriage LEGAL in 6 states. Not only that but all across the US we are not allowed to even speak openly against it. Where I work you will be fired for it. Several states are preparing bills where it will "gay history" will be TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS!
And were all just supposed to "be nice" and keep our mouth shut while children and grandchildren are TAUGHT HOMOSEXUAL BEHAVIOR in the schools of America!

Yes I would far rather see the America of my childhood than the hideous creature it has become today.
